If I may say so, "All Y'all is a TRIP!" I am truly amazed at the level of complete and utter crybaby bullshit I read on these types of threads.
Oh I have to say I see SOME points on all sides, but what pisses me off is how arrogant some have become against average JW's.
Crawdad says:".... the reason alot of jws are still jws,... is because their hearts are not "bothered" by the hypocrisy of the things they see going on around them....... they don't take a stand for truth and love. .........as soon as they take that stand, they are either kicked out, or they leave on their own............ no one who is in favor of truth and justice and love can remain one of jehovah's witnesses.............. they are sentenced to reap misery in the jw cult...... till they wise up............... they will reap what they sow, till they learn their lesson."
What about YOU Crawdad, and YOUR lot. You are so freakin' enlightened now it blows my undeserving mind. I just hope the rest of us can keep up with your ultra progressive pace!
How far you have come! When you were a JW you were a lying, unloving, unjust hypocrate. But NOW that you've left you have magically morphed into a wise man, who reads hearts, full of love and TRUTH! BARRRRF!
I'm not at all saying criticism isn't justified. But I think some of you need to look at the big picture: Ummm, like, umm, you WERE one,and like umm ,that makes you FORMER asshole?
In my opinion there is nothing worse than someone who has an unforgiving attitude toward people who have made the same mistakes and been misled in the same manner they have.
